    Is it? Genuine question, I don't have the numbers, but my gut says it's a close one. How many of those 17 million would have never even caught the bug? And how many of those will get it anyway, even with the vaccine? How many of those would have developed symptoms? How many of those had serious underlying health problems that may have escalated those symptoms to ICU necessity? And how many of those would have succumbed? It can't possibly be "VASTLY" more than 0.0002%, right?
